Wormwood, an easier way to create a crossplatform GUI than raw wxPython is to use pythoncard, which is a library that is on top of wxPython that is there to make it easier to use and to make it easier to layout GUI screens/dialogs.
I've found its a much faster "whiteboard to running software time" then wxPython by itself. (I've used both, raw wxPython a lot *more* than pythoncard, as i'd not yet heard of it). Alan is right about separating the core logic of the program from the input/output methods, and using that in both a command line and a gui program. I doubt you'll need a book to use pythoncard. Its about as easy as VB to build a form with the WYSIWYG, and very pythonic to use the forms you've built. To get up an going, install a compatible version of wxPython use this link: http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/walkthrough1.html --Michael References: Pythoncard:http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/ On 9/16/07, wormwood_3 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I am just starting to learn GUI programming, with wxPython.
